I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too
Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.
“No one is going to write you were a good employee on your headstone. “
And
“Time is the one form of compensation you can never recoup. “
Meaning Time off from work is valuable, more so than the $$ value especially once you get to a certain point.
In the same vein:
“20 years from now, the only people who will remember that you worked late are your children"
